i use google navigation. all u need is to install brut maps. which is a cracked version of google maps. and walla, u get google navigation. there is turn by turn voice navigation, updated maps as per mantained by google maps.
only downside is that u need a decent data plan...
there is a thread here in this subforum that talks about it


Added on December 9, 2010, 11:28 amdont get confused with agps and gps.
http://www.diffen.com/difference/A-GPS_vs_GPS

basically a-gps uses cell towers information to roughly determine where u at. once it gets a gps lock, then it zeroes to your exact location.

that is why, sometimes, if ur phone is having dificulity locking on a decent gps signal ( u need a min of 3 sats to bounce signals off) u usually get the general location of where u are, this is determined via the cell tower information ...

hmm.gif If we success lock the A-GPS, will it convert back to GPS immediately so that we can lock satellite faster?

meaning A-GPS can assists on faster GPS locking


Added on December 9, 2010, 11:39 am biggrin.gif 1 more choice for yours, Offline Google maps using Rmaps.............

but the map size is pretty large, a Selangor state map used 300MB++

if you got large SD card then you may use it

agps assists on faster gps locking. not really... lah, but it helps for the system u using to determine your general location while it tries to get a gps lock.

rmaps eh ? ok , will find it..

Aura is good. I think it is better than papagoX5 in terms of graphics, accuracy and UI though I only test it for 1+hour.
But the map is not as good as MFM for papagoX5. Some place I cant find in Aura I can easily find in papagoX5.

I m going to test using Aura for awhile since I can't use papagoX5 already and that stupid m3shoppe reseller said I can't use in android 2.2

In the meantime, I discovered something new in twitter. It is called Waze GPS. A free community base mapping like MFM too. Going to give it a try as well since it will have traffic info, which is important if you are driving around KL.. Think I am going to like Waze.. thumbup.gif

blush.gif Maps is most important element for GPS apps, without the updated and complete POI map, will not consider
